From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Public Hearings 2-8-22
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.
A
This
hearing
is
being
conducted
in
accordance
with
the
applicable

baker
on

16
2021
this
new

This
new
law
allows
the

to
continue
its
practice
of
holding
virtual

it
adopted
during
the
coven
19

1st

A
C
D
A
Good
morning-
and
I
understand
that
mr
ligras
does
not
have
power
in
his
neck
of
the
neighborhood.
A
Excellent
okay,
mr
ligaris,
is
on
so
we
have
a
full
board.
Mr
hampton
are
you
on.
A
Good
morning,
mr
fortune.
B
A
Any
opposed
motion
carries
now
just
before
we
begin
on
the
extensions
mayor,
remind
everybody
that
extensions
are
just
not,
and
approvals
are
just
not
pocket
approvals.
We
need
to
see
some
action
before
too
much
time
passes.
We've
been
noticing
that
there
have
been
a
number
of
approvals
that
have
been
given
14
15
years
ago,
and
that's
just
not
what
the
board
was
created
to
do
so
with
that.
Let
me
turn
that
back
over
to
you,
mr
fortune,
sorry
about
that.
Thank.
B
F
Don't
say
the
name:
okay,.
B
H
B
E
Motion
to
extend
for
one
year
until
february,
11
2023,
which
would
would
be
inclusive
of
any
and
all
applicable
totally.
Second,.
B
B
The
applicant
seeks
a
further
extension
of
the
relief
until
march
1st
of
2023,
which
would
be
the
first
necessary
extension.
I
recommend
that
the
board
confirm
for
the
record
that
the
original
grant
of
relief
remains
valid
until
june
6th
of
2022
and
grant
any
further
extension
that
it
finds
appropriate.
K
Yeah,
so
thank
you
very
much.
It's
a
second
hold.
A
On
mr
eastern
costa,
can
you
please
go
ahead.
A
A
And
are
we
granting
the
extension
until
march
1st
23.
E
Okay,
so
motion
to
extend
relief
through
march
1st
2023,
which
would
be
including
any
and
all
applicable
tolling.
B
M
B
B
The
board
has
not
heard
this
matter,
since
the
relief
was
not
subject
to
totally
expired.
The
board
did,
however,
grant
a
third
and
fourth
extension
to
this
project.
The
fourth
extension
is,
except
to
expire.
On
march
25th
2022,
I
recommended
the
board
confirmed
for
the
record
that
its
grant
of
the
fourth
extension
until
march
25th
2022
included
all
applicables
holding
for
this
project.
B
However,
because
the
applicant
made
its
third
and
fourth
request
for
extension
during
that
time,
when
the
relief
should
have
been
told,
neither
extension
was
necessary.
I
further
recommend
that
the
board
grant
any
additional
extension
that
it
deems
appropriate
under
these
circumstances,
taken
into
consideration
that
this
would
be
the
applicant's
third
extension
rather
than
expect.
E
Motion
to
confirm
that
relief
was
valid
through
march
25th,
2022,
inclusive
baltoa.
E
A
All
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
carries
mr
lynce
just
a
heads
up
this
inclusive
of
of
all
processes.
A
M
Chair,
if
I
could
just
for
the
record
for
clarity,
I
do
appreciate
the
board's
position
on
extensions
and
certainly
appreciate
the
boards
granting
the
additional
extension
you
know,
as
typically
when
I'm
before
the
board.
These
are
not
the
case
of
this.
This
length
of
time
there.
M
Circumstances
with
this
particular
application,
including
matters
of
seizure
by
the
federal
government
on
the
property
for
the
prior
owner,
that
we
needed
to
work
through
before
we
could
proceed
so
that
has
all
been
resolved.
There
is
also
a
taking
by
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
with
a
land
transfer
for
parcel
it's
owned
by
the
city
of
boston.
That
has
also
taken
additional
time
that
is
all
being
completed
and
we're
hopeful
to
get
moving
before
before
the
expiration.
The
next
extension.
A
B
M
B
Thank
you,
mr
lynch,
regarding
100
to
114
hampden
street,
the
board
originally
granted
this
relief
on
march
1st
of
2019,
and
it
granted
its
first
extension
until
march
1st
2022.
However,
that
extension
was
unnecessary
with
tolling.
The
original
grant
of
release
does
not
expire
until
june
6th
of
2022.
B
E
B
B
The
applicant
now
also
requests
an
additional
extension
until
march
29th
of
2023,
which
would
be
their
first
necessary
extension.
I
recommend
that
the
board
confirm
for
the
record
if
the
original
granted
relief
remains
valid
until
june
4th
of
2022
and
grant
any
further
extension
that
it
finds
appropriate.
E
Motion
to
confirm
that
relief,
inclusive
of
all
tolling
remains
valid
until
july
4th
of
2022
and
hereby
extending
relief
through
march
29th
2023,
which
is
inclusive
of
any
and
all
applicable
totally.
A
I'm
sorry,
mr
ligras,
but
I
think
the
extension
is
july.
4Th
23.
A
29Th:
okay,
okay,
okay!
Is
there
a
second
second.
O
Yes,
yeah
jeremy
cole,
296
columbus
have
good
morning.
B
C
P
B
Thank
you,
mr
weeks,
regarding
408d
and
208
cbfw
parkway,
the
board
originally
granted
relief
for
these
companion
cases
on
march
30th
of
2018,
and
it
has
since
granted
its
first
and
second
extensions
of
relief.
However,
neither
extension
was
necessary.
Withdrawing
the
original
grant
of
relief
expired
until
july
5th
2021.
B
However,
the
board
has
not
heard
this
matter
since
the
expiration
of
that
release.
The
board
did,
however,
grant
the
extension
of
relief
to
this
applicant.
As
of
january
12,
2021
hearing
until
march
30th
of
2022,
I
recommend
that
the
board
confirm
for
the
record
that
the
extension
is
granted
until
march
30th
of
2022
included
all
applicable
tolling.
The
applicant
now
also
seeks
an
additional
extension
until
march
30th
of
2023,
which
would
be
their
second
necessary
extension.
B
E
Motion
to
confirm
the
relief
with
all
clickable
tolling
is
valid
through
march
30th
2022,
and
that
a
extension
of
relief
is
granted
through
march
30th
2023,
which
would
be
inclusive
of
any
and
all
applicable
polling.
E
A
Yes,
let's
do
that
and
please
have
somebody
inform
mr
goldstein
about
the
what's
happened
at
this
meeting.
B
B
B
E
Motion
to
confirm
the
relief
remains
valid,
including
all
tolling
through
may
24
2022,

B
F
P
The
times
this
is
george
murray,
I'm
sorry
I
had
myself
in
you
today
apologize
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
george
mourinson
attorney
business,
actress
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
singing
chan,
the
owner
of
the
property
in
191
main
street
at
charlestown,
which
is
a
single
story:
commercial
building
located
in
the
ns
neighborhood
shopping
sub
district.
P
The
proposal
is
for
a
new
four-story
building
which
would
have
a
ground
floor.
Retail
store
with
six
residential
units
above
the
unit
sizes
would
be
as
follows:
the
commercial
space
894
square
feet
at
ground
level
units
one
and
three
would
be
888
square
foot,
two
bedrooms
units
two
and
four-
would
be
597
square
foot
studio,
slash
one
bedrooms
unit
five
would
be
an
896
square
foot
two
bedroom
and
unit
six
would
be
a
600
square
foot
studio,
slash
one
bedroom.
P
The
floor
plans
show
on
the
the
on
the
ground
level,
the
the
retail
unit
with
a
basement
used
for
storage
only
as
well
as
utilities
and
mechanical
room.
P
P
P
41
feet
madden,
chair,
okay
and
the
other
variance
is
required
for
insufficient
parking,
since
none
is
being
provided.
Given
the
size
of
the
lot.
The
site
is
within
an
approximate
seven
minute,
walking
distance
from
community
college
t
station.
A
variance
is
required
for
excessive
floor
area
ratio.
2.0
was
allowed,
3.15
is
being
proposed,
the
required
rare
yard
setback
being
provided.
P
Sorry
required
is
17.45
feet
shallow
low
exception.
The
building
would
actually
have
a
rear
setback
in
excess
of
that
at
20
feet,
but
the
rear
decks
are
within
that
setback
area.
Hence
the
citation
for
insufficient
rear
yard
setback.
The
zoning
refusal
letter
site's
a
violation
of
insufficient
musical
open
space,
but
this
is
an
error.
Code
requires
50
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit
for
a
total
requirement
here
of
300
square
feet.
As
I
mentioned,
the
landscape,
rear
yard
by
itself
is
500
square
feet.
P
In
addition,
each
unit
would
have
an
8
foot
by
12
foot,
rear
deck,
providing
an
additional
96
square
feet
of
open
space
per
unit.
The
building
meets
the
front
yard
setback
requirement,
which
is
to
say
that
it
wouldn't
be
in
alignment
with
existing
buildings
on
the
block.
The
reason
for
the
citation
is
that
plants
examiner
regards
the
small
overhang
above
the
residential
entry
to
be
within
that
front
set
back
area.
P
A
P
Looking
at
the
plants
at
madam
chair,
there
is
a
a
lift
in
the
in
the
rear
that
provides
access
from
a
ground
floor
level
up
to
up
to
the
oh.
No
I'm
sorry.
P
A
Okay,
how
do
the
plans
mister
robinson.
D
So
the
plans
are,
the
plans
are
good.
I
did
have
the
same
question.
A
lift
is
actually
called
out
on
the
ground
floor
plan,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
extend
to
the
second
floor
or
there's
the
bathroom
there.
So
obviously
I
think
that
needs
to
be
verified,
and
I
you
know,
I
think
that
the
height
is
above
zoning.
However,
I
do
think
you
know
that
street
has
a
variety
of
fours
and
threes
and
ones.
So
it's
it
has
sort
of
a
little
bit
of
a
contextual
to
it
as
well.
D
So
no
questions
for
me
on
the
proposed
scope
other
than
those
things.
R
I
ask
good
morning
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
pm
stapleton
of
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
held
in
a
butters
meeting
for
this
project
on
december
13th.
Our
office
has
received
full
support
in
opposition
for
this
project.
I've
received
five
letters
of
opposition
with
18
total
signatures.
R
S
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
michael
bonnetti,
from
the
office
of
boston
city,
councilor,
lydia
edwards,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
recording
support
this
project.
Thank
you.
B
T
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
leslie
delaney-hawkins
attorney
with
the
applicant
from
prince
lobel,
having
an
address
of
one
international
place
in
boston
with
me,
is
gabe
vieira,
who
is
the
owner
and
operator
of
the
applicant
entity
as
well
as
matt
o'boyle
the
architect.
Should
it
please
the
board?
I
will
give
a
brief
overview
of
what
we're
proposing
and
then,
of
course,
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
T
So
this
is
a
proposal,
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
one
of
the
deliberate
cannabis
licenses
has
been
before
the
building
board
of
appeals.
That
you're
aware.
So
this
is
the
first
of
the
two
new
license.
Types
that
are
included
in
this.
The
applicant
is
a
certified
boston.
Equity
applicant
who's
also
been
certified
social
equity
by
the
state.
The
regulations
at
the
state
level
that
were
promulgated
to
create
these
delivery
license
types
actually
require
that
for
the
first
three
years,
these
licenses
are
limited
to
social
equity
and
economic
authority.
T
A
T
T
T
So
this
is
the
portion
that's
going
to
be
for
the
warehouse
on
the
far
right
of
the
plans.
You
can
see
the
area
in
which
employees
will
enter
and
the
secure
vestibule
to
ensure
that
they
have
that
anyone
accessing
the
space
actually
should
legally
have
access.
A
At
the
top
miss
edwards,
I
think
the
plan
is
a100.
Is
that
what
you
had
said.
U
V
I
T
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
matt.
So
again,
the
far
right.
This
is
where
our
employees
for
the
warehouse
use
will
enter
and
exit
into
the
secure
vestibule.
Where
they'll
be
id
the
top
to
your
left,
you
can
see
the
secure
delivery
door,
that's
where
deliveries
of
product
will
be
taken
and
then
they'll
be
brought
into
the
secure
areas
for
breakdown
and
storage.
T
So
that's
the
warehousing
use
the
second
floor
will
serve
as
the
delivery,
only
operator
or
courier
model,
and
what
that
essentially
is.
It's
almost
uber
eats
for
cannabis,
so
the
vehicles
will
be
dispatched
from
the
office
located
on
the
second
floor
and
they
will
pick
up
product
from
licensed
recreational
and
medical
dispensaries
and
deliver
directly
to
consumers
at
their
address.
You
cannot
have
any
deliveries
outside
of
an
address
or
to
a
business.
T
T
Approximately
four
of
which
will
actually
not
be
stored
on
site
because
they
will
be
for
the
courier
groups
only
and
six
will
be
stored
on
site
in
the
existing
fenced-in
parking
lot
for
the
warehousing
use.
There
is
not
going
to
be
any
public
facing
or
retail
component.
This
is
strictly
deliver
delivery,
so
the
public,
the
general
public,
will
never
have
access
to
the
space.
T
So
this
will
be
a
fully
alarmed
and
secure
building
with
it
will
adhere
to
all
ccc
compliance.
We
will
have
exterior
lighting
that
will
be
activated
at
all
times.
We
will
also
have
10
internal
cameras
and
eight
external
cameras
and,
of
course,
the
city
of
boston
and
the
state
will
have
access
to
that
footage
which
will
be
stored
for
a
period
of
90
days.
T
Yes,
it
has
with
this.
The
applicant
has
appeared
at
two
separate
hearings
before
the
pcb,
because
the
two
license
types
were
actually
promulgated
by
the
state
guide
at
two
separate
times,
so
we've
actually
been
going
through
this
process
for
a
significant
amount
of
time,
and
I
believe
the
bcb
submitted
a
letter
of
support.
Councillor
baker
submitted
a
letter
of
non-opposition.
A
We'll
hear
from
that
from
the
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
from
the
city
council,
but
we
need
to
find
the
technic
understand
the
technical
details
from
you.
Can
we
go
to
the
site
plan
to
see
how
parking
will
be
stored
on
site
tell
us
which
drawing
we
should
be
looking
at.
T
So
our
staff
and
employees
will
access
the
site
via
one
of
the
two
existing
curb
cuts.
We
also
will
not
be
allowing
our
staff
to
utilize
the
adjacent
residential
streets.
That
was
one
of
the
conversations
we
had
with
the
neighbor,
the
neighbors
and
because
of
the
extensive
security
and
surveillance
we'll
be
able
to
monitor
that,
and
we
will
be
implementing
a
demerit
system
for
any
employees
who
do
utilize.
Those
residential
streets.
A
T
There
is
an
existing
fence
which
we
will
be
maintaining
and
repairing,
and
there
is
an
existing
billboard,
which
is
not
our
property
and
we
will
not
be
utilizing.
All
signage
will
be
in
in
compliance
with
all
of
the
bcb
regulations,
as
well
as
the
ccc
regulations.
A
Okay,
and
what
does
the
state
requirement
on
signage
is,
is
my
understanding
correct?
Is
that
you
cannot
show
a
cannabis
leaf.
T
A
Okay,
so
then
I
guess
the
next
question
is
how,
because
we
know
how
our
people's
ages
etc
will
be
verified.
You
know
on
on
site,
how
are
you
going
to
do
that
through
delivery.
T
Absolutely
the
state
also
has
very
strict
requirements
regarding
the
delivery
itself,
and
I
know
gabe
vieira,
who
is
the
actual
applicant
gabe?
Do
you
want
to
briefly
touch
on
the
process
for
identifying
once
you're,
delivering
directly
to
consumers
of.
Y
Course
so
our
company
built
the
tech
platform
ziprun.com,
which
you
could
look
up.
We
integrated
with
the
company
called
burbex
burbex
is
a
id
verification
checker,
so
before
any
consumer
can
receive
a
delivery,
they
have
to
upload
their
id
via
via
our
integration,
with
burbex
to
ensure
they're,
21
plus
and
then
once
again,
once
our
driver
gets
to
our
consumer's
doorstep,
they
check
the
id
once
again,
so
we're
double
checking
the
ids
to
ensure
these
consumers
are
over
21
years
of
age.
T
And
there
are
also
tracking
mechanisms
on
all
of
the
vehicles
and
at
least
one
of
the
delivery
employees.
There
are
always
two
in
a
vehicle
and
there
they
have
they're,
constantly
being
recorded
via
the
reporting
system.
That's
required
by
the
state.
Z
D
The
the
plans
are
fine
in
terms
of
the
proposed
scope.
I
I
do
think
that
you
know
this
is
a
very
prominent
site.
I
have
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
it,
so
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
the
site,
I
think,
receives
a
little
bit
of
care.
It's
been
in
sort
of
a
state
of
disrepair
for
many
years.
I
do
have
a
question
which
maybe
is
not
at
hand
but
on
the
billboard
itself.
D
So
when
I
was
working
on
the
site
previously
with
the
socio
owners,
they
told
me
that
the
billboard
was,
I
don't
know
the
terminology
but
local
to
the
business
directly
at
hand.
It
is
not
a
public
in
a
private
billboard.
So
how
is
that
going
to
be
remain
and
not
used
by
you
as
the
the
operator
of
the
site.
T
Y
Yes,
so
the
landlord
doesn't
have
the
landlord
didn't
make
a
decision
to
remove
the
billboard.
But
as
of
right
now,
like
leslie
said,
like
leslie
stated,
there
is
nothing
in
our
agreement
that
states
were
able
to
use
that
billboard,
currently
you're
corrected
as
an
on-premises
billboard.
Just
at
this
time
we
kind
of
decided
with
the
neighbors
that
we're
not
going
to
use
the
billboard
on
premise.
AA
A
Okay,
I
think
we
can
deal
with
that
chris
robinson,
through
a
professional.
D
A
Yes,
any
questions
from
the
board.
C
C
And
are
the
drivers
employees
of
the
firm
or
are
they
one
of
these?
Shall
we
say
less
nice
yeah
they're
direct
employees
you're
not
using
a
service
like,
I
won't
mention
their
names,
correct.
T
T
A
And
will
will
the
vehicles
have
any
signage
in
them?
In
other
words,
will
the
drivers
be
at
risk
through
the
signage.
T
T
The
ccc
conducts
an
inspection
of
all
of
the
vehicles
as
well
as
the
site,
and
we
have
an
annual
renewal
process
that
we
must
go
through
as
well.
So
they
do.
They
do
monitor
them
and
obviously
we'll
be
as
one
of
the
first
delivery
operators
in
the
commonwealth
we'll
be
updating
and
adhering
to
the
rules
and
regulations
as
they
make
change.
T
C
And
what
is
the
catchment
area
for
the
deliveries?
How
what's
how
far,
how
far
do
you
go
from
the
base.
Y
As
of
right
now,
we're
we're
starting
with
a
10
mile
radius
and
we
don't
really
plan
to
extend
that
past
15th.
We
want
to
keep
our
our
delivery
focus
on
the
greater
boston
region
and.
C
Are
there
any
regulations
at
all
about
distance.
T
There
are
no
regulations
on
distance,
however,
you
can
only
deliver
two
municipalities
that
allow
for
cannabis.
So
if
you
are
one
of
the
municipalities
who
opted
out
of
the
legalization,
oh
yeah.
A
W
We
ask
that
the
equity
applicant
continue
working
with
the
community
to
resolve
any
outstanding
issues
with
aesthetic
and
maintenance.
They
have
addressed
all
the
questions
they
received
and
the
boston
cannabis
board
voted
unanimously
to
grant
the
license.
So
at
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
F
A
Okay,
given
that.
L
Would
be
pda
design
review
with
particular
intent
attention
to
screening
and
buffering
the
billboard
if
there's
anything,
they
can
do
with
that
and
upgrade
to
the
the
side
of
the
building
windows.
Things
like
that
and
for
this
applicant
only
that
applicant
for
this
applicant
only.
A
AC
M
B
The
next
case
calling
voa
127
60
saint
vitale
street.
This
is
new
windows,
restoration
of

including
brick,
repointing
and
repair
new

Addition
of
decks
off
the

article

B
AA
Sure,
thanks
for
having
me
so
119
state
by
top,
is
an
existing
four-story
unit.
Building
we
are
proposing
to
add
rear
decks,
we're
proposing
to
extend
the
head
house
to
make
a
penthouse
addition
for
the
top
floor
unit,
which
would
be
roughly
450
square
feet,
and
we
are
also
proposing
exterior
alterations
to
the
front
of
the
building
in
the
rear
of
the
building.
A
AA
AA
AA
That's
just
the
existing.
I
have
my
architect
on
here
as
well.
I
forget
what
it's
called.
It's
the
dome
on
top
of
the
building.
AA
It's
just
an
existing
they're,
all
along,
say
the
top
street.
Okay.
A
Okay
got
it
so
hold
on
a
minute.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
Plans
are
good,
no
question.
I
think
the
rear
decks
are
encroaching
on
an
area
that
can
handle
it's
really
a
public
alley
way
that
behind
with
a
very
large
building
that
affronts
the
other
side-
and
I
think
the
the
addition
which
I
think
is
more
of
a
floor
but
is
pulled
back
quite
a
bit
from
the
street
and
it
is
hidden
behind
this
sort
of
turret
turret
thing
that
and
there
is
no
roof
deck
toward
the
main
street
side.
So
I
I
don't
have
any
specific
questions
about
the
proposed
scope.
C
How
does
that
mesh
with
the
other
neighboring
budding
buildings
so.
D
Most
of
them
don't
have
any
additional
floor,
they
do
have
head
houses
of
various
size
down
the
block,
so
this
would
be,
I
think,
the
first
of
a
larger
size
there's
one
down
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
corner
of
cumberland.
Maybe
it's
probably
similar
in
size
and
pulled
back
as
well,
but
the
rest
are
more
traditional
roof
head
houses
of
various
sizes
along
the
way.
So
there's.
D
A
And
this
is
a
question
for
the
applicant.
Is
this
in
the
architectural
district.
AA
AA
Yeah
we
actually
had
a
very
long
process
with
them.
They
were,
they
were
willing
to
meet
with
us
before
we
made
our
design,
so
we
could
get
some
input
mostly
on
what
we'd
be
able
to
you
know
somewhat
of
what
we
would
be
able
to
do,
but
also
you
know
part
of
the
the
attraction
down
there
on
st
fatal
street.
A
lot
of
the
buildings
have
been
brought
back
to
their
original
details,
so
they
were
able
to
give
us
all
kinds
of
input
on.
A
AD
AD
A
AA
We
sorry,
but
we
also
have
a
letter
of
support
from
the
architectural
commission.
A
AA
D
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve.
C
AA
B
So
much
follow
your
next
case
calling
voa
126,
4048
92
to
100
massachusetts
avenue.
This
is
renovation
of
existing

secondary

newbie,
the
former

club.
This
is
a

to
operate
24
7.
violations,
article
8,
section
3,
24
hour
operation-
is
conditional
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
G
A
Villanueva,
the
the
reason
here
is
that
the
24
hours
is
conditional
use
so
tell
us
about
your
24
hour
proposed
operation.
Tell
us
the
anticipated
numbers
of
people
you
anticipate
coming
off
hours
and
how
you
control
for
security
during
those
midnight
to
I
don't
know
four
in
the
morning
or
something
like
that.
G
Of
course,
madam
chair,
our
staff
is
trained
trained
in
management
disciplines
for
overnight
hour
operating.
We
have
intelligent
camera
systems
within
the
store
and
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
The
total
number
of
cameras
for
this
location
specifically
is
23
and
we
utilize
a
90-day
backup,
hdr
hard
drive
during
the
overnight
hours.
We
have
between
anywhere
from
15
to
30
members
that
come
to
utilize
our
gym
during
the
overnight
hours,
and
the
reason
we
request
specifically
to
operate.
A
Okay,
so
tell
us
how
many
other
planet
fitnesses
within
the
city
of
boston
are
are
24
hours.
G
G
Dorchester
jamaica
plains,
hyde
park,
there's
a
few
others.
Let's
top
up
the
top
of
my
head.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
Plans
are
good,
no
question
I
just
have
well.
I
guess
I
said
one
question
on
access,
so
you,
the
access
to
this,
will
be
through
the
common
building
entrance.
Is
that
correct
and
then
space
itself
is
in
the
lower
lower
level.
G
That's
correct
yeah,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
our
space
is
in
the
seller
and
the
sub
seller.
The
the
storefront
entrance
on
massachusetts
avenue
is
is
solely
ours,
but
it's
an
entrance
and
exit
only
there'd
be
no
operating
on
the
ground
level,
so
all
operations
will
take
place
in
the
seller
and
subseller.
Okay,.
A
Any
questions
from
the
board,
you
know
the
thing
that
strikes
me
is
that
this
location
is
very
close
to
you
know.
Bu.
A
And
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
explain
to
us
what
the
system
is
for
controlling
for
students
or
others
who
may
be
inebriated
at
odd
hours.
G
So
they
have
to
come
right
if
you're
on
massachusetts
avenue,
you
have
to
enter
into
the
building
by
obviously
the
storefront.
The
storefront
is
about
five
by
five
for
you
to
access
into
the
space.
You'd
have
to
come
down
the
stairs
and
you'd
have
to
you
have
to
physically
walk
past
our
front
desk,
which
we
always
have
staff
24
hours
a
day.
G
So
at
that
point,
if
someone
came
inebrated
into
our
gym,
we'd
obviously
know
that
they
weren't
a
member
and
or
inebriated.
So
at
that
point
I
I
would
venture
to
guess
that
we'd
probably
ask
them
to
leave
at
that
at
that
ins
on
that.
For.
A
AD
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
molly
griffin
from
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
on
this
proposal.
We
did
host
a
butters
meeting
on
december
16
2021
the
applicants
address
concerns
or
questions
from
neighboring
people
businesses.
AD
F
Okay,
I
do
have
one
raised
hand
start
with
conrad.
I
sent
a
request
on
you.
Can
you
say
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please
439.
AE
Marlboro
street,
representing
the
neighborhood
association
of
back
bay,
the
applicant
presented
the
case
to
us
and
nab,
does
not
oppose
this
application.
AF
V
A
Is
the
what's
his
name,
conrad
armstrong
is,
is
he
still
on?
Actually,
yes,
can
you
tell
us
of
what
other
24-hour
uses
there
are
in
the
neighborhood
in
this?
In
you
know
around
this
node.
AE
There
we
go,
we
asked
about
the
24
operation,
it
impressed
us
that
they
have
other
locations,
especially
like
on
winter
street.
That's
that's
had
zero
incidents,
it's
been
open
24
hours,
there
aren't
other
gyms
in
back
bay
that
are
over
24
hours,
but
there's
some
other
businesses
like
7-elevens
or
ces
that
don't
seem
to,
or
we
think,
they're
more
likely
to
maybe
attract
homeless
late-night
incidents
and
yet
don't
seem
to
have
a
big
problem.
AE
So
well,
we
did
ask
about
security,
let's
say
kind
of
a
question
you
asked
and
they
allayed
our
concerns.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay,
given
that
information
and
remember
this
is
a
condition.
This
is
a
request
for
a
conditional
use
from
it.
May
I
have
emotion
and
any
conditions
that
you
think
might
be
appropriate.
A
Yep
that
that
is
because
I
know
we
need
to
just
ensure
so,
yes,.
L
Make
a
motion:
okay,
so
I'd
like
a
motion
to
approve
with
two
provisos,
so
this
applicant
only
and
a
provision
to
come
back
in
a
year
just
to
give
us
an
update
and
make
sure
there's
no
issues
I'll.

attendee.
AG
We
are
proposing
to
rebuild
a
roof
deck
at
this
address.
The
previous
deck
that
was
in
place
was
haphazardly,
built
and
has
been
since
removed.
For
obvious
reasons
we
are
replacing
the
we
are
building
back
the
roof
deck
only
and
keeping
the
existing
head
house.
That
means
that
maintains
access
to
the
roof
and
on
this
room.
A
Sorry
because
this
is
before
us
was
that,
because
usually
replacements
aren't
before
us
was
that
roof
deck
legal
or
was
it
not
legal
and
and
and
secondly,
are
you
expanding
the
footprint
of
that
roof
deck.
AG
D
Plans
are
good.
There
is
a
the
the
previous
deck
which
is
still
on
google
earth
is
there,
it
was.
It
was
smaller
and
pushed
further
in
the
back.
There
is
an
adjacent
roof
deck
that
seems
to
be
aligning
with
what
they're
proposing
in
terms
of
its
front
and
rear
setback
from
the
streets
and
consistent
with
the
adjacent
and
the
existing
head
houses
is
remaining
so
no
questions
necessary
for
me
on
the
scope.
AH
Hi

Good

madam

forbes,

and
braintree,
I'm
joined
this
morning
with
eric
zacherson,
who
is
a
team
architect.
A
Well,
genia,
before
you
proceed,
have
you
seen
the
bpda's
recommendation?
I.
A
It's
a
recommendation
for
denial
because
of
the
density
and
a
number
of
a
number
of
related
issues,
open
space,
excessive
building
height,
a
lot
of-
let's
see
the
fact
that
it
does
not
reflect
the
triple
deck
of
building
typology,
which
is
what
a
3fd
means.
A
AI
I
think
at
this
point
I
didn't
understand-
I
didn't
see
that
so
at
this
point
we
would
request
a
deferral
to
meet
with
the
bpda
staff
and
see
if
we
can
resolve
some
of
those
issues.
D
Make
a
motion
to
defer

Please.
AJ
AK
A
AJ
Sure
so
we're
proposing
a
single
family
house,
which
you
can
see
on
the
first
page
of
the
the
drawing
the
drawing
set
and
the
first
page,
also
gives
an
overview
of
how
the
property
is
situated.
On
the
lot
joe,
you
can
go
over
the
some
of
the
violations,
the
side
yard
and
the
front
yard
violations
can
be
seen
here
on
that
yeah.
Exactly
if
you
zoom
into
that
part
with
the
green
around
it.
AL
Right
so
front
yard,
the
plane
of
the
house
is
actually
not
in
violation,
but
we
have
added
a
front
stoop
where
you
see
the
door
kind
of
swinging
out
onto
that
front
stoop
and
because
that
front
stoop
has
a
small
roof
on
it.
That
makes
it
count,
I
guess,
as
part
of
the
dwelling.
So
that's
why
it's
in
violation
of
the
setback.
A
D
A
It's
36,
okay
and
and
it's
what
is
the
required?
35
35,
okay
front
yard,
insufficiency
far
what's
required
and
what
are
you
proposing.
A
Thank
you
and
what's
this:
is
this
a
one
family,
zoning
district,
one
family?
What
yes.
A
A
Sorry,
five
or
six
bedrooms,
okay,
so
just
just
for
the
record
that
the
zoning
requires
that
at
the
maximum
you
can
have
four
unrelated
individuals.
A
So
if
there's
any
plans
to
rent
out
or
anything
else,
please
keep
that
in
mind.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
Plans
are
good,
just
one
question,
so
there
is
an
in-law
suite
called
out
on
the
attic
level.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct?
Can
you
just
maybe
give
us
a
little
bit
of
information
on
that.
AL
A
So
there
is
no
kitchen
up
there,
it's
just
and
it's
accessed
through
the
house.
AL
AM
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board
some
background
information.
His
proposal
was
approved
by
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
and
during
the
community
process
our
liaison
could
not
recall
any
opposition
or
concerns.
Thank.

A
Okay,
so
I
may
have
a

X
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
adam
rosa,
I'm,
the
architectural
designer
from
rosa
design
and
construction,
stephanie
warren
street
street
seven
in
boston.
We
also
happen
to
call
the
applicant
and
owner
elizabeth
fernandez.
What
we're
proposing
here
is
to
add
a
basically
a
fourth
edition.
X
We
will
turn
into
a
triple
decker
with
a
great
level
store
in
the
basement
that
we're
looking
to
legalize.
This
also
includes
a
roof
back
with
with
common
access
on
the
top.
A
I'm
sorry
is,
did
you
say
there's
going
to
be
occupancy
in
the
basement
what's
happening
in
the
basement?
There
is
an.
X
Existing
unit
that
we're
looking
to
legalize
the
legal
use
of
the
building
right
now,
it's
a
two
family
with
day
care,
which
is
currently
not
an
existing
condition.
The
baker's
there's
actually
a
unit
that
we're
looking
to
legalize
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
renderings
the
access,
it's
it's
on.
Android
access
in
the
front.
A
Yes,
I'm
looking
at
the
red
fin
photos
of
the
building
and
it
looks
like
in
the
rear.
It's
so
tell
us
about
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
and
tell
us
about
the
floor
to
sell
height
in
that
basement.
Yeah.
X
So
the
the
ceiling
height
inside
from
finish
floor
to
finish
ceiling,
seven,
nine
and
in
the
front,
if
you
look
at
the
elevations,
you
have
direct
access
from
grade
then
going
towards
the
back
because
of
the
nature
of
the
the
lot
it
pitches.
It
goes
up,
so
you
basically
have
about
even
more
than
50
percent
of
the
space
of
the
basement.
X
A
X
Yeah,
the
ceiling
height,
you
mean,
I'm
sorry,
you
mean
the
experience
the
floor,
yes
plate,
oh
yeah,
so
it's
like,
as
mentioned
in
the
front
it's
on
grade
so
going
up.
If
you
look
at
the
elevations
it
could
it
could
be
seen
that
there's
no
need
for
window
wells,
so
it
seems
like
we
have
pretty
much
enough
space
there
to
have
an
window
egress
figures
without
without
window
wells.
Q
D
If
you
go
to
meta
ambassador,
go
to
a
2.1,
you'll,
see
the
side
elevation,
it's
dimensioned
as
the
sill
in
the
bedroom's
at
two
foot,
eight
above
the
finish
floor,
so
they're
fairly
standard
height
windows,
as
you
move
to
the
rear
there
is,
they
do
start
to
get
buried
in
the
site.
That
is
true.
However,
it
looks
on
the
other
side.
A
Okay,
so
you're
you're,
basically
replacing
those
those
narrow
windows
that
I
see
on
the
on
the
photos
with
full
windows.
Correct,
okay,
okay,
then
tell
us
about
the
other
proposed
unit.
Yeah.
X
So
it's
basically
adding
in
a
full
story
on
the
third
floor,
we're
basically
lining
up
the
building
with
the
current
conditions
of
what's
around
us
there,
on
the
left
and
and
the
side
I
mean
109,
one
of
my
stanwood
street
and
also
our
neighbor
on
the
right
side
coming
turning
into
a
triple
decker.
X
A
And
tell
us
about
that:
roof
deck
and
access
to
that
roof,
deck.
X
Yeah,
so
the
intention
now
we're
proposing
is
to
provide
a
common
roof
deck
with
two
axises
one
in
the
front
and
one
in
the
back.
X
Yeah,
as
you
can
see,
in
the
elevations
and
the
renderings,
there
are
two
roof
accesses:
yeah
complete
with
full
height.
I'm.
X
It's
so
it's,
it
has
full
access,
it's
not
houses.
A
Because,
just
so
that
you
know
this
board
is
not
keen
on
head
houses,
so
you
know
we
just
want
to
let
you
know
for
for
future
reference
and
for
reference
on
this
project,
because
in
the
rendering
it
does
look
like
that's
different
than
the
abutters
okay.
X
A
Okay:
okay,
let's
see
what
else?
Okay,
how
are
the
plans
miss
robinson.
D
Plans
are
fine,
I
I
actually
don't
have
any
real
issue
with
the
basement
apartment.
I
think
the
head
houses
are
obviously
they're,
even
more
ornate
and
larger
than,
and
I
am
a
little
worried
that
with
two
usually
there's
one,
so
it
has
a
limited
occupancy.
Now
it
has
two,
so
it
could
be
carry
as
almost
as
many
people
as
you
wanted.
So
I
think
we
need
to
question.
I
guess
the
head
houses
in
this
particular
case.
A
Yes,
of
course,
how
are
you.
F
Let
me
get
him
on
it's
on
the
phone
in
one
second,.
F
AN
AO
B
Regarding
73
stanwood
street
reduce
the
number
of
spaces
from
four
to
three
to
make
maneuverability
safer.
The
space
should
be
removed
and
is
a
space
located
further
from
the
home.
Stanwood
street
is
one
way
and
is
very
narrow.
However,
there
existed
driveway
directly
across
on
the
driveway
at
73
stanwood,
making
access
and
egress
acceptable.
A
Bob
welcome
well,
thank
you,
we'll
hear
from
you
on
the
next
case,
because,
mr
fortune,
I
did
read
your
comments
into
the
record,
so
thank
you.
You're.
Q
AP
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
again
with
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services,
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
by
our
office
on
november
29
2021,
in
which
we
did
have
about
six
participants
for
the
community
meeting.
She
did
and
the
applicant
answered
all
questions
and
concerns
that
was
raised
specifically
around
the
basement
unit
and
also
the
addition
of
the
four
units,
as
some
folks
definitely
felt
that
four
units
was
a
little
bit
much.
AP
The
only
other
addition
I
would
like
to
add
is
that
mike
kozu
from
project
right
has
reached
out
just
so
the
community
can
get
another
look
at
the
actual
proposal.
We
are
going
to
be
deferring
this
to
the
expertise
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
AQ
Good
morning,
madam
chairman
of
the
board,
dustin
gardner
behalf
of
city
council
of
warrell's
office,
we
would
also
like
to
second
the
mayor's
office
thoughts.
We
received
concern
also
from
mike
kozu,
who
oversees
the
civic
for
this
area
and
he'd
like
to.
Then
we
come
back
and
present
before
moving
forward
at
the
board,
so
we
would
request
a
deferral.
F
And
I
have
one
raised
hand,
my
cozu
sorry,
I
sent
a
request
to
unmute,
you
go
ahead.
Can
you
say
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
O
Well,
we
appreciate
the
homeowners
and
we
support
the
homeowners
process
to
try
to
improve
her
property.
We're
concerned.
The
lot
size
is
only
3
800
square
feet.
That's
it's
too
small
for
a
four
unit
property
in
that
location.
We
would
like
a
deferral
just
so
we
could
talk
about
it.
We're
concerned
about
the
roof.
Deck
roof.
Decks
have
been
public
safety
issues
in
the
neighborhood
plus
we
had
a
toddler
fall
from
around
the
corner,
so
we're
concerned
about
safety
issues.
Regarding
that
request,.
A
O
A
A
Okay,
miss
ambassador;
okay,
any
anybody
else
miss
ambassador.
A
Elizabeth,
I
know
I
think,
let's
make
a
motion
for
deferral,
but
on
the
record,
what
our
concerns
are:
okay,.
A
Okay,
so
the
concerns
are
roof
deck
and
the
head
houses
and
mr
robinson
you're
fine
with
the
basement
unit.
K
A
Okay
and
then
you
also
wrote
about
the
concern
about
parking,
correct,
okay,
so
there's
a
motion.
This
then
there's
a
second
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.

H
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
kyle
smith
of
kds
law,
business,
address
of
359
newbury
street
in
boston
back
bay
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
your
approval
of
the
proposed
planet,
fitness
which
is
going
to
be
in
the
basement
of
our
building.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
H
H
It's
my
understanding
that
in
the
conversion
of
eggleston
street
to
a
one-way
at
a
previous
point
in
time,
a
lot
of
owners
did
successfully
petition
and
obtain
approval
for
off-street
parking.
The
prior
owner
to
my
client,
my
client,
having
purchased
this
property
in
january
of
2020
mounted
the
curb
for
parking.
So
there
is
not
currently
a
curb
cut
on
site,
but
the
property
was,
you
know,
for
all
intents
and
purposes
used
as
off-street
parking.
A
H
I'm
I'm
not
sure
why
the
plan
generator
did
this,
but
there's
actually
two
pages.
Madam
chair
of
the
site
planned
one
page,
all
of
which
is
in
the
position
of
stephanie
haynes.
One
page
shows
the
existing
parking
space
and
drive,
which
is
on
the
front
there.
You
are
that
page
and
then
one
shows
the
rear.
H
So,
madam
chair,
as
is
not
terribly
uncommon,
we
do
have
tandem
spaces,
often
so
to
answer
your
question.
This
parking
space
they'd
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
you
know
dancing,
unfortunately,
with
vehicles,
but
that's
why
we
are
excited
for
a
maneuverability
issue.
So
this
car
affirmatively
is
parking
in
the
balance
to
the
rear,
whether
the
actual
parked
car
is.
You
know,
breaking
the
front
plane
of
the
building
or
parked
into
the
you
know
farther
deeper
into
the
driveway.
A
Yes
hold
on
hold
on
mr
damico:
oh
yeah,
you
you're
waving
your
hands.
So
let's
go
miss
ambassador.
Can
you
unmute,
mr
d'amico?
Yes,.
H
Madam
chair,
sorry,
for
interrupting
as
a
result
of
the
community
process,
it's
relevant
for
you
for
provisos,
but
in
meeting
with
eggleston
main
street
and
then
also
meeting
with
the
gameplay.
A
Okay,
mr
d'amico,
please
go
ahead.
AN
A
Thank
you
how
and
mr
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
D
I
think
you
get
what
you
see
see
what
you
get,
because
it
is.
It
is
quite
tight
along
the
whole
edge
and
it
would
be
challenging,
I
think,
to
maneuver
back
there
for
certain.
But
if
there's
three
parking
spots,
parts
off
the
street,
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
benefit
or
not.
L
D
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
on
the
board.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
AM
Yes,
venom
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
This
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board.
We
have
some
background
information.
Ons
did
host
in
a
butters
meeting
that
was
very
lightly
attended.
There
were
no
serious
concerns
raised
at
that
meeting.
They
went
on
to
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council,
which
recommended
approval.
Thank
you.
A
All
those
in
favor
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
I'm
opposed,
okay
motion
carries
it's
been
denied.
There
are
five
in
in
supporting
that
motion.
Okay,.
B
1441
tremont
street:
this
is
a
conditionally
used
permit
for
recreational
marijuana.
Dispensary
the
violations,
article
59
section
15,
the
use
is
forbidden.
The
cannabis
established
shall
be
cited
at
least
one
half
mile
or
2
640
feet
from
another,
existing
cannabis
establishment
and
at
least
500
feet
from
a
pre-existing
public
or
private
school,
providing
education
in
kindergarten
or
any
of
the
grades
from
one
to
twelve
note.
This
is
proposed.
Cannabis
establishes
non-conformity
with
this
regulation.
Therefore
forbidden
article
59,
section
15.
B
A
Hold
on
hold
on
so
mr
erlich
is.
A
You're
here,
okay,
so
okay,
so
just
for
the
applicant
to
know
we
have
a
six
member
board
and
you
need
five
members
in
support
of
your
proposal
for
it
to
proceed.
You
can
request
the
deferral,
but
it's
up
to
you.
F
F
AR
Good
morning,
everybody
I
am
also
joined
by
the
applicant
here,
jody
mendoza.
If
somebody
could
please
unmute
her,
she
will
also
be
helpful
in
describing
her
business
plan
so.
AS
AR
AR
We
are
within
one
half
mile
of
another
cannabis
establishment.
The
applicant
here
is
an
economic
empowerment
applicant
with
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts.
A
Can
you
tell
us
how
close
the
other
cannabis
facility
is.
AR
It's
approximately
a
six
to
eight
minute
walk
and
it's
about
1200
feet
short
of
the
half
mile
necessary.
AR
A
So
I
mean
that
that's
fine,
but
our
concern
is
that
it
is
within
the
one
half
mile
buffer,
and
so
that
is
our
concern
and
is
there
any?
Are
you
in
proximity
to
a
grade
school?
We.
AN
A
Our
one
to
twelve
school,
we,
we
are
not
okay,
okay,
and
so
this
is
forbidden,
and
then
it
is
okay.
So
the
the
reason
that
it's
a
forbidden
use
is
because
of
proximity,
and
the
reason
it's
conditional
use
is
because
it's
a
marijuana
facility,
okay!
Well,
why
don't
you
go
ahead?
Tell
us
what's
being
proposed,
but
just
know
for
the
record
that
this
board
is
not
does
not
look
kindly
on
projects
that
are
within
half
one
half
miles
of
other
projects
of
other
projects.
AR
AR
So
the
meat
of
the
matter
is
is
that
it
is
within
a
buffer
zone
of
another
cannabis
establishment.
I
recognize
that
this
board
has
a
strict
scrutiny
regarding
these
buffer
zones
appropriately.
So
generally,
the
zoning
was
established
so
that
cannabis
establishments
would
not
be
clustered
in
a
green
mile
if
you
will,
within
our
city,
similar
to
those
that
were
out
in
colorado.
AR
So
when
boston
set
up
the
zoning
map,
it
wanted
to
avoid
these
clusters
and
wanted
people
to
make
their
case
of
why
this
would
cluster
a
neighborhood.
In
this
case,
as
I
said,
it's
a
six
to
eight
mile
walk.
Eight
minute
walk.
It
is
directly
across
the
street
from
an
mbta
police
station.
The
applicant
has
worked
with
neighborhood
partners
and
has
been
approved
by
the
community
alliance
of.
A
Can
you
hold
on
counselor
yeah?
Can
you
put
your
name
and
address
on
the
record
and
tell
us
what
you
what
you
need
for
us
to
have
knowing
where
this
board,
where
this
board
stands
with
with
distance,
and
then
we
will
continue
to
hear
on
the
ma
the
merits
of
this
case.
So
please
go
ahead.
Counselor.
AT
Okay,
so
do
you
want
me
to
do
it
here
or
on
the
chat
I'm
counseling.
A
Your
name
and
address
on
the
record
and
tell
us
your
opinion
on
this
proposal.
AT
AT
AT
I
respectfully
ask
the
commission
to
deny
any
proposal
that
requests
a
variance
to
amend
the
code
and
that
disregards
the
one
half
mile
buffer
zone
and
the
required
500
foot
minimal
distance
from
a
school
zone.
I
do
also
understand
that
this
particular
application
is
within
within
the
tobin's
street
community
center.
So
that's
another.
It
may
not
be
a
school,
but
it's
definitely
a
community
center.
So
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
as
well.
A
No,
let's
go
back
and
and
hear
from
the
applicant
so
that
they
can
in
fact
talk
about
their
project
more
fully,
and
then
we
will
proceed
as
normal.
We
just
took
counselor
out
of
out
of
sequence
because
she
had
other
other
commitments.
B
Madam
chair,
I'm
a
little
confused
as
councilman
here
and
supporter
opposition
she's.
A
In
opposition,
because
she
would
like
the
the
the
half
mile
radius
respected.
A
Okay,
so
let's
hear
from
the
applicant,
because
you
know
we
do
need
to
give
somebody
due
process
about
specific
specifics
about
this
this
proposal
and
how
it
would
work,
etc,
etc.
AR
AS
AR
Logs
a
dcr
operations
lot,
it
is
not
clustered
the
two
cannabis
establishments
are
not
clustered
in
a
way
that
they
would
unduly
burden
the
neighborhood.
A
Oh
yeah,
of
course
we
yep
got
it.
A
Okay,
so
tell
us
about
the
operation
and
tell
us
about
how
it's
proposed
to
work.
Tell
us
about
security
hours
of
operation.
A
AR
Sure
the
proposed
hours
are
12
to
8
7
days
a
week.
It
is
a
thousand
square
foot
location,
it's
very
similar
to
a
storefront
street
front
convenience
store
type
setup.
The
deliveries
would
take
place
in
the
alleyway
around
the
back
off
of
parker
street.
AR
Okay,
the
security
team
is
made
up
of
not
only
high
quality,
electronics,
petroscan
id
technology,
but
a
strong
seasoned
security
team.
The
day-to-day
operations
would
be
handled
by
someone
who
has
been
a
15-year
nightclub
veteran.
He
has
extensive
crowd,
control,
de-escalation
and
compliance
experience.
AR
A
AR
AR
AR
Applicant
has
extensive
experience
in
the
licensing,
hospitality
and
entertainment
industry.
They
are
a
local,
diverse
entrepreneur
couple
that
is
owner
and
operator
of
a
mojitos
country,
club
and
randolph.
They
also
were
a
longtime
licensed
holder
in
the
city
of
austin
in
downtown
crossing.
Without
incident.
They
have
extensive
experience.
AR
A
Oh
yeah,
of
course,
so
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
Plans
are
fine,
it's
very,
very
basic
in
terms
of
the
plans
themselves.
I
guess
I'm
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
understand
it.
I'm
looking
at
their
diagram
and
the
500-foot
buffer
seems
to
actually
go
through
the
tobin
k-8
label
of
the
school.
D
So
I
I
guess,
I'm
questioning
the
dimensions
of
this
and
looking
at
the
aerial
and
measuring
it
looks
like
it's
within
300
ish
feet
of
the
community
center
as
well-
and
I
know
this
is
this
route-
is
traffic
but
highly
by
kids
going
to
the
orange
line,
tea
and
things,
so
I
think,
just
location,
location,
location.
I
guess
is
a
question
for
me.
I
think
mr.
A
Robinson,
just
so
that
we
are,
we
are
equal
with
our
presentation.
Tell
is
there
enough,
should
there
be
overflow?
Is
there
enough
space
for
people
to
line
up?
Does
it
look
like
there's
enough
space.
D
So
there
is,
there
is
interior
space.
I
think
it's
it's
tight,
it's
not
a
very
big
space,
so
I
think
that's
probably
fine.
There
is
a
waiting
sort
of
area
vestibule,
that's
not
just
a
vestibule,
it's
larger
than
that,
and
there
is
a
fairly
clear
sequence
through
the
front
space.
I
mean
it's
not
very
big
at
all
the
whole
place,
but
it's
there
is.
There
is
adequate
sort
of
space
off
the
street
for
a
couple
people,
maybe
two
three
to
be
waiting.
D
I
don't
see
the
security
that
we
typically
see
before
people
are
buzzed
in,
but
that
just
might
not
be
represented
on
the
planes.
These
this
plan,
that's
up
now,
doesn't
show
any
detail.
It's
the
in
the
other
package
of
information.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
security
desk
in
that
small
vestibule,
then
that
would
change
the
dynamic
of
it
because
it's
it
is
small.
A
D
So
tremont
streets
to
the
left,
that's
the
entry
point
you
can
see.
The
vestibule
is
pulled
back
and
there's
that's
a
dimension
of
five
and
a
half
feet
which
is
adequate
fine
with
the
sort
of
looks
like
some
benches,
but
I
just
don't
know
if
they
have
a
security
point
in
that
best
field.
AR
C
Yeah,
I
have
a
couple
questions
in
addition
to
the
tobin
community
center
I
mean
across
the
street.
Tremont
is
rcc
in
madison
park.
What's
the
distance
from
the
establishment
to
those
facilities.
AR
C
Okay
got
it.
I
understand
that
the
both
rcc
and
madison
are
more
than
500
feet,
but,
as
mr
robinson
pointed
out,
people
gather
at
the
at
the
t.
Stop
there
and
I
mean
it.
This
whole
issue
of
buffer
zones
is
continues
to
drive
me
nuts
about
you
know
what
what
is.
Are
we
absolutely
enforcing
the
five,
the
half
mile
or
are
we
not
the
issue
of
equity?
You
know
compromised
those
rules,
it
just
it
just
seems.
C
Every
single
case
is
treated
on
its
own
and
the
boston
board
apparently
apparently
approved
this,
knowing
that
it's
within
the
half
mile
buffer
zone,
so
you
know,
I
have
always
asked
that
we
get
clear
direction
on
what
city
policy
is
and
we've
never
gotten.
It.
A
Yeah
but
I
suppose,
then
it
leaves
us
to
quote
create
policy.
You
know
it's
zoning
by
relief.
So
let's
see
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
AD
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
molly
griffin
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
regarding
this
application.
There
was
a
community
meeting
held
on
june
24
2021,
where
there
were
concerns
and
support
both
shown
by
neighbors
and
members
of
the
community.
AD
F
Have
quite
a
few
raised
hands
we'll
start
with
martin
martin,
I
sent
a
request
to
unmute
you.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
F
Okay,
we're
gonna
show
what's
happening
I'll,
go
to
john
fitzgerald.
Can
you
state
your
name,
and
I
just
for
the
record.
Please.
N
Yes,
how
are
we
doing
good
afternoon?
Everybody?
My
name
is
john
fitzgerald.
I
am
the
president
of
the
mission
oak
community
center
and
have
been
for
at
least
12
plus
years
now
I
actually
have
lost
count
but
happy
to
be
in
front
of
you
and
on
this
speaking
in
opposition
of
this
project
today.
Thank
you,
mr
robinson,
for
bringing
up
the
fact
that
we
are
actually
within
the
500
feet.
N
Our
concern
here
is
that
the
tobin
community
center
is
is
really
the
epicenter
of
a
lot
of
programming
in
in
a
wide
area.
Not
just
mission
hill
itself
extends
in
the
roxbury
fenway
jamaica,
plain
folks
really
come
from
all
over
and
we
are
very
proud
of
the
programming
we
provide
for
the
youth
in
all
of
those
communities,
its
location
to
the
orange
line
and
the
green
line
on
the
other
side
on
huntington
ave
has
a
lot
of
people
coming
to
our
establishment
by
way
of
public
transportation.
N
It
really
this
only
down
to
me
as
the
location
of,
if
the
spirit
of
the
the
zoning
to
mr
ehrlich's
point.
If
the
spirit
of
the
zoning
is
to
say
within
500
feet
and
our
community
center
with
attached
to
the
tobin
school,
puts
ourselves
I'll,
let
the
legal
experts
take
care
of
that,
but
if
it,
if
we
are
one
and
the
same,
then
yes,
we
are
within
that
buffer
of
500
feet
and
so
property
line.
N
The
property
line
there
is,
there
is
a
a
restriction
there
and
so
for
the
sake
of
the
kids
and
the
programming
we
put
on.
We
just
want
to
know,
as
this
stuff
goes
forward,
and
these
stories
start
to
come
up
all
over
the
place
and
more
proposed.
N
A
Can
I
ask
other
other
speakers
to
give
us
new
information
and
once
you've
spoken,
please
lower
your
your
hands,
please
and
let's:
let's
go
miss
ambassador.
Okay,
martin
go
ahead.
AU
Hello,
my
name
is
martin
beinborn,
I'm
at
88
allegheny
street
involved
in
mission
hill,
and
I'm
here
as
a
president
of
the
community
alliance
of
mission
day.
So
I
would
like
to
report
in
this
capacity
that
our
organization
voted
in
favor
of
the
project.
Two-Thirds
of
the
members
who
are
in
support
once
both
thank
you.
F
AV
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
adam
starbo,
with
the
business
address
of
one
one
for
1440
1457
tremont
street
in
mission
hill,
going
to
you
know,
I
want
to
parliament
and
go
off
the
buffer
zone,
but
I
also
make
note
that
the
board
hasn't
mentioned
the
abcd
youth
center,
that
is
at
14
at
714
parker
street,
which
is
200
feet
away
from
this
location.
AV
So
just
want
to
say
that,
but
talking
about
the
actual
location
and
layout
that
the
proponent
has
put
that
you
know
there,
there
is
no
parking
on
site.
There
is
none
of
that
which
should
create
a
larger
foyer
area.
If
you
look
at
the
plans,
as
mr
robinson
pointed
out,
there's
only
a
five
foot
or
five
and
a
half
foot
area
of
a
foyer
to
hold
a
large
line.
The
cannabis
doesn't
allow
street
public
streets
as
their
line
for
me.
So
I'm
not
really
sure.
If
that's
enough
space.
Thank.
AW
I
Yes,
my
name
is
jack
stenhouse.
My
address
is
345
harrison
avenue,
I'm
representing
the
owner
of
1441
tremont
street,
as
well
as
other
properties
in
mission
hill,
who
is
in
support
of
this
proposal
as
well
as
tenants
of
ours
that
live
on
mission
hill
that
have
expressed
support
through
a
few
letters
of
support
and
a
petition
that
gained
100
signatures
within
24
hours.
Can
you
tell.
A
Sorry,
okay,
okay,
thank
you!
Miss
ambassador.
Are
we
all
set?
We
are
all
set.
Thank
you.
Okay,
may
I
have
the
attorney
give
a
few
points
in
response,
that
is
new
information,
and
then
we
will
move
to
a
motion.
AR
AS
AR
What's
also,
a
special
condition
to
know
is
that
the
mission
hill
neighborhood
is
basically
one
square
mile
and
while
most
neighborhoods
in
boston,
one
square
mile
have
approximately
14
300
residents
in
the
mission
hill
neighborhood,
there
are
24
000
residents
and
that
same
one
square
mile
radius.
The
population
definitely
supports
more
than
one
establishment,
particularly
one
that
has
agreed
to
meet
extensively
with
the
community
and
has
entrepreneurs
that
are
equity
applicants
and
experienced
in
this
type
of
hospitality
and
security
industry.
AR
A

I'll
I'll
make
a
motion
to
deny.

I
think
sorry.

AY
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
laurence
catino
from
richard
lindsay's
office
regarding
128
webster
street,
with
a
business
address
of
245
sumner
street
in
east
boston.
With
me
on,
the
line
is
eric,
zacherson,
the
architect
on
this
project
and
frank
cinque,
the
owner
of
the
top
unit
condo,
as
mentioned
this
is
a
plan
to
erect
an
internal
staircase
with
a
hatch
to
access
a
roof
deck
which
would
only
be
accessible
to
the
top
unit.
AY
AY
So
the
the
interesting
part
about
this
building-
I
don't
know
at
the
top
of
my
head-
the
number
of
units
there's
four
in
the
31
cottage
street
side,
which
isd
has
this
property
listed
as
128
webster,
but
it's
a
connor
building
and
the
roof
deck
is
actually
on
the
cottage
street
side
that
they
use
31
cottage.
A
Okay
and
what's,
and
so
the
the
proposal
is
to
access
it
through
a
hatch
to
the
roof
deck.
Is
this
and
tell
us
about
that?
Roof
deck?
Sure.
AY
AY
If
you
look
at
this
as
a
corner
building
or
if
you
look
at
this
as
a
front
building
we're
at
0.5
for
sagat
or
2.5
from
the
rare
yard,
but
I
can
have
the
architect
just
go
through
the
materials
that
are
being
planned
and
the
other
two
violations
that
we
would
be
subject
to
is
ipod
and
roof
structure.
Restrictions
based
on
austin.
D
Plans
are
fine,
no
no
question,
they
roof
hatch
and
no
other
questions
for
that.
AM
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
connor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
This
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment,
some
background
information,
the
mayor's
office
conducting
the
butters
meeting
on
october
13th
notice.
What
we
have
from
this
is
that,
in
its
owner
occupied
the
civic,
local
civic
voted
to
support
and
the
community
had
recommended
a
hatch
over
the
head
house,
which
sounds
sounds
like
that's
what
the
applicant
is
calling
thank
you.
A
Mr
ambassador,
anybody
else
manager
I
have
no
raised
hands
at.
F
AZ
BA
B
A
And
for
the
right
to
mr
rogero
has
recused
himself
go
ahead.
Mr
mahoney.
Z
Z
The
proposal
before
us
today
reflects
that
is
a
reduced
unit
count
not
because
of
density
issues,
but
there
was
no
other
way
to
include
family
size
units.
Specifically
now
we
have
a
24
unit
apartment
building
over
our
clients,
kind
of
arena
enterprises,
mohammed
county
and
mohave
massouds,
and
we
in
store
and
there'll
be
24
apartments
above
it,
three
of
which
are
three
bedroom
units.
Five
one
bedroom
units
and
the
remaining
are
two
bedroom
units.
The
intent
there
was
to
increase
bedroom
count
to
allow
for
families
per
the
board's
previous
recommendation.
Z
Additionally,
we're
seeking
relief
for
full
area
ratio.
The
far
in
this
area
is
2.0
and
the
proposal
is
as
3.5
as
they
are.
We
have
a
three
foot
side,
rear
yard,
variant
that
we're
seeking
relief
as
well
as
parking
and
loading.
A
The
proposed
for
the
rear
yard
is
17,
okay
and
then,
let's
just
see,
you're
providing
no
parking
you've
gotten
through
the
far
okay
and
your
side
yard
is
okay.
Okay,
so
tell
us
about.
If
it's
easier,
your
architect
can
possibly
tell
us
about
the
dimensions
or
the
average
square
footage
of
these
one
twos
and
threes.
Z
Certainly
a
madam
chair:
the
one
bedroom
unit,
the
minimum
one
bedroom
unit
size,
is
660
square
feet,
which
is
about
45
square
feet
larger
than
required,
and
the
largest
one
bedroom
is
750
square
feet.
The
two
bedroom
units
range
from
852
to
945
square
feet,
of
which
there
are
16
and
the
three
bedroom
units
are
125
square
feet
additionally,
and
previously
put
into
the
board.
There
was
four
idp
units
more
than
28..
Z
Z
A
And
that's
in
the
rear
yard.
Yes,
that's
within
the
17-foot
rear
yard.
Okay,
so
tell
us
about
parking.
Last
at
our
last
meeting
we
had
a
proposal
that
came
in.
Oh,
I
think
you
maybe
you
were
the
applicant
on
it
with
five
parking
spaces,
and
I
think
my
comment
at
that
point
is
when,
when
does
this,
neighborhood
reach
a
capacity
issue
with
all
these
projects
coming
through
with
no
parking
or
few
parking
spots.
Z
No
manager
important,
that's
correct.
It
was
about
a
block
away,
we
aren't
taking
the
lead
for
parking
and
we
were
not
able
to
amend
the
article,
the
application
to
include
parking
because
it
was
approved
as
it
was
that
they
would
not
allow
us
to
amend
it
to
reduce
the
size
of
the
convenience
store,
because
most
of
the
support
was
garnered
around
but
to
be
in
store,
being
increased
and
maintained
in
the
community.
However,
our
clients
do
have
an
loi
for
20
parking
spaces
just
on
the
other
side
of
singleton
street,
approximately
250
feet
away.
Z
Three
years
is
a
maximum
control
of
the
the
user
of
the
parking
lot
on
the
other
side
of
sigma
street
that
they
didn't
center
for,
and
that
is
what
the
truck
is
at
this
time,
but
it
will
can
extend
okay.
A
As
as
you'll
probably
guess,
I
think
that
that
is
that
is
insufficient.
That
is
clearly
not
enough,
because,
unless
we
expect
demolition
of
this
building
in
three
years,
because
this
community
is
going
to
be
very
significantly
impacted
with
all
these
projects
with
lack
of
parking
where
there
is
no
certainty
that
these
spots
will
be
there's
no
nothing
on
the
records
or
at
the
registry
of
deeds.
That
will
confirm
that
this
parking
will
continue
until
the
building
is
demolished
to
be
replaced
with
something
else.
Z
It
is
important
to
have
affordable
units
in
the
in
the
area.
It
is
important
to
have
black
lawn
businesses
to
scheme
the
area.
These
are
not
realistic
developers.
They
are
really
trying
to
increase
their
existing
business.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
scenario
and
there's
been
no
community
opposition,
with
the
exception
from
the
board
related
to
marketing.
A
May
yes,
let's
see,
I
think
the
board
has
received
some
some
notes
of
opposition
just
so
that
it's
on
the
record,
but
let's
go
ahead.
How
are
the
plans
on
mr
robinson.
D
Plans
are
good,
really,
no
question,
I
think
the
the
scope.
We
all
understand
the
proposal
at
this
point.
No
questions
for
me
from
about
the
what
is
being
asked.
AP
AP
We
are
going
to
be
deferring
to
the
board,
as
this
was
a
bpd
facilitated
project.
Thank
you.
AS
BB
BB
Yeah,
my
name
is
kyle
miller.
My
address
is
184
dudley
street.
I
represent
madison
park
development
corporation
and
a
butter
of
this
project
where
police
report,
the
proponents
of
this
project,
have
presented
this
development
to
us.
We,
too
are
pleased
that
they
have
exceeded
the
required
affordability
requirements
under
idp
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
them
as
this
project
progresses.
F
F
F
I
think
we
may
be
all
set.
Someone's
buddy
can
jump
in.
A
BC
I've
been
trying,
so
please
excuse
me,
madam
chair
and
board,
but
I
am
calling
in
to
voice
opposition
from
the
roxbury
neighborhood
council
this
proposal
we
are
opposing
on
the
issue
of
upzoning.
The
notion
of
five
stories
in
24
units
will
increase
well,
not
just
increase,
but
it's
excessive.
BC
The
density
and
the
height
is
is
too
much
for
this
area
with
all
the
things
that
the
chair,
chair
person
has
already
alluded
to
in
terms
of
density,
so
the
roxbury
neighborhood
council
is
opposing
this
and
we
are
posing
upzoning
in
this
area
of
nubian
square.
For
all
the
reasons
that
I
just
mentioned.
Thank
you.
Please,.
BC
Oh,
my
name
is
betty
tony.
I
live
at
20
alpine
street
and
I'm
calling
in
from
for
the
neighborhood
rock
spring
neighborhood
council,
and
I
want
to
also
thank
the
ambassadors
and
jessica
thomas
for
helping
me
to
get
on.
It
has
really
been
a
problem.
Thank
you.
So
much.
F
Thank
you
buddy,
I
do
see
bob
demiko's
hand
is
raised.
I
did
send
a
request
to
unmute
you.
You
see
it.
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please.
D
D
Make
a
motion
to
approve,
while
I
understand
the
concerns,
I
think
the
oversized
units
and
supporting
the
local
business
seems
to
to
me,
make
some
sense
so
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review.
Well,.
A
All
those
in
favor
I
will
voice
my
opposition,
because
I
do
think
that
this
is
over
development
of
the
site,
with
no
parking
and
no
relief
for
the
community,
and
just
as
I
mentioned
at
the
last
meeting,
there
is
a
lot
of
development
proposed
and
everybody
is
coming
in
with
lack
of
parking,
so
this
neighborhood
and
the
business
district
is
going
to
be
in
a
in
a
crunch
in
a
couple
of
years
without
without
relief.
So
that's
that's
my
my
voice
of
opposition.
A
Anybody
else
in
opposition
motion
carries
with
approval
with
design
review.
It
is
now
11
48.
The
meeting
is

Mrs

We
are
seeking
a
short
deferral.
We
went
back
to
the
community
after
our
last
deferral
and
made
some
changes
to
the
project.
We
did
incur
one
new
violation
which
needs
to
be
advertised
so
again
we're
seeking
a
short
deferral
to
allow
for
that
to
happen.

E
BG
The
proposal
is
we're
seeking
to
change
the
occupancy
from
an
existing
three
family
structure
to
a
four
family
and
complete
renovation
of
the
exterior
and
interior
of
the
building
and
adding
a
roof
deck
on
top
of
the
structure.
The
building
just
to
point
out
will
remain
the
contours
of
the
building,
and
in
that
original
rendering
you
can
see
what
we
are
going
to
restore
the
historic
features
in
eagle
hill
to
the
building,
to
the
left
to
mirror
that,
rather
than
what's
up
there
now,
you
can
see
in
this
picture
in
existing
conditions.
BG
And
that
was
a
rare
yard
violation.
Madam
chair,
just
it's
a
pre-existing
violation,
and
so
again
that's
looking
at
the
rear
of
the
building
just
to
point
out
we're
adding
decks
right
now,
where
that
structure
is
there's
enclosed
porches
that
were
used
for
bedrooms,
we're
removing
those
to
create
additional
space
for
each
unit.
A
Can
how
that
fourth
unit
is
going
to
be
created,
tell
us
about
if
there's
going
to
be
occupancy
in
the
basement
and
go
directly
to
that
deck.
BG
Sure
so
again,
as
it's
laid
out
now,
madam
chair,
there
is
space
in
the
basement
or
lower
level.
Now
it's
70
percent
above
grade
with
a
full
walkout
in
the
rear.
The
the
unit
is
connected
to
the
the
first
floor
unit.
So
that's
a
six
bedroom
unit,
as
it
exists
now
same
on
unit
two
and
same
on
unit.
Three,
it's
a
hodgepodge
of
bedrooms.
BG
Our
proposal
is
to
make
that
lower
level
a
separate
unit,
there's
also
a
basement
on
this
building,
so
a
sub
basement
that
would
remain
and
become
just
unit.
Storage,
that's
accessed
from
the
rear
of
the
building.
The
lower
level
would
now
become
unit,
one
that
would
be
a
1220
square
foot
two
bedroom
two
bath
with
a
full
rare
walkout
that
would
have
full
windows
for
light
and
air
florida
sill
at
30,
inches
two
means
of
egress
and
it
has
11.
The
sailing
height
varies
from
8
foot
3
to
11
feet.
BG
Throughout
that
unit
we
go
up
to
the
first
floor
that
houses
the
main
entrance
of
the
building.
That
would
be
unit
2.
That
would
now
become
right
now.
That's
a
six
bedroom
unit.
That
would
be
changed
to
a
two
bedroom,
one
bath
condominium
unit
with
a
rear
deck,
and
that's
a
thousand
fifty
square
feet
going
up
to
the
second
floor
that
would
house
unit
three
again,
that's
another
six
bedroom
that
would
become
an
eleven
hundred
and
seventy
square
foot
two
bedroom
one
bath
condo
with
a
rear
deck.
BG
just
to
go
over
the
violations
that
were
mentioned
additional
lot
area
per
dwelling
unit,
a
thousand
would
be
required
or
slightly
under
at
916
square
feet
far.
This
is
pre-existing
1.0
we're
at
3.17
because
the
basement
is
already
occupied
as
it
stands
now
heightened
feet.
35
is
what's
allowable,
we're
proposing,
39
and
again
we're
not
making
the
building
any
higher,
but
we
are
putting
the
roof
deck.
On
top
the
rear
yard
pre-existing
30
feet
is
required.
BG
We're
at
14,
although
we
do
have
a
full
up
halfway
out
the
back
that
can
be
entered
for
that
bottom
unit.
A
Okay,
and
since
this
is
this,
I'm
assuming
is
a
gut
rehab.
What
are
you
doing
for
for
lead,
certification
or
anything
like
that?.
BG
Again,
where
the
wind,
you
know
lightning
air
for
windows,
we're
completely
we're
putting
in
foam
insulation,
we're
actually
adding
a
green
space
patio
out
in
the
rear
of
the
property
as
well.
We're
removing
the
enclosed
porches
that
were
used
as
living
space
and
making
that
now
outdoor
space
as
well.
And
then
all
high
energy
efficiency
appliances.
D
Plans
are
good,
no
question
the
rear
unit
or
the
lower
unit
is
definitely
above
grade
at
the
rear,
because
there
is
a
sub
basement.
There
are
additional
windows
off
the
street
too,
so
I
don't
have
any
concerns
with
the
basement
unit
and
the
the
roof
deck
is
direct
access
from
the
rear
deck
of
the
upper
unit
on
the
outside.
So
there's
no
hatch
or
any
access
issue
in
terms
of
that
question.
So
no
no,
no
questions
from
me
on
the
proposal.
A
C
Anybody
here
I
couldn't
tell
from
the
plans
mr
drago,
where
are
the
utilities?
Are
they
in
the
basement
or
south
basement
sub-basement.
BH
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board-
and
that's
all
you
need
says,
with
the
mayor's
official
services
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
at
this
time.
However,
the
project
was
supported
by
the
civic
and
of
butters
and
they
thought
it
was
a
good
design
and
a
good
addition
to
the
back.
Thank
you.
V
C
Motion
to
approve,
I
don't
think
it
needs
bpda
design
to
do,
though
I
think.
A
So
either
is
there
a
second.
B

This
is
to
erect
a

four-story
residential

M
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynn's,
245,
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
francesco
pirigatti
also
with
me,
is
eric
zackerson
as
the
project
architect.
I'm
not
sure
that
I'm
sure
what
the
pleasure
of
the
board
is
is
to
address
the
building
boat,
first
or
separately.
A
M
Sure
I
and
I
lowered
my
volume,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
has
helped
without
a
chair.
A
M
Great,
so,
with
respect
to
the
deferral,
I
believe
we
took
a
bit
of
straight
up
deferral.
The
last
time
we
were
before
the
board
based
upon
the
board
composition,
as,
as
for
the
building
code
relief
manager,
we
are
proposing
a
roof
deck
that
would
be
accessed
by
hatch
and
consistent
with
the
board's
preference.
If
roof
decks
are
proposed
to
not
access,
saying
by
a
head
house,
because
this
building
would
be
at
four
stories
we
do.
K
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
With
respect
to
the
proposal
itself,
we
could
jump
back
to
the
slide
deck.
I
can
discuss
quickly
what
the
proposal
is.
M
Is
a
vacant
parcel
located
in
the
jeffress
point
section
of
east
boston
at
the
corner
of
haynes
and
marginal
street?
It
does
have
a
corner
lot,
condition
with
50
feet
of
frontage
along
the
mains
about
32
feet
of
frontage
along
marginal.
This
isn't
a
3f
2000
district.
We
are
proposing
a
conforming
use,
so
the
3f
that
we
are
proposing
is
allowed
under
article
53.
M
When
we
originally
had
proposed
this
project,
we
had
gone
back
and
forth
between
whether
or
not
to
include
parking
or
whether
or
not
to
have
a
higher
building
to
allow
a
lot
of
parking
as
we
currently
propose
it.
The
feedback
that
we
did
here
from
the
community
was
that
parking,
although
height,
was
a
concern.
Parking
was
a
paramount
concern,
so
we
adapted
the
building
in
a
way
to
try
to
address
both
high
concerns,
as
well
as
a
parking
issue
we
do
exceed
the
height
slightly.
The
height
limit
is
35
feet
from
the
district.
M
Y
M
Have
family
in
europe
who
does
visit
regularly
to
the
united
states.
M
M
So
we
are
showing
here
the
floor
plan
on
the
left
side.
We
show
three
full
parking
spaces
that
will
be
accessed
from
haynes
street
marginal
street
tends
to
be
a
bit
more
traveled
and
therefore
adapting
a
curb
cut
for
the
marginal
street
side
would
seem
to
present
a
little
bit
more
of
a
challenge.
There
is
already
presently
a
curb
cut
on
haym
street.
There
is
a
parking
that
occurs
on
the
site
presently
for
for
for
patrons
who
are
in
the
neighborhood.
However,
that
is
not
necessarily
required
parking
for
any
particular
property.
M
So
the
curb
cut
that
presently
exists.
We
can
jump
back
to
the
plans.
I
believe
it's
it's
actually
a
oversized
curb
cut
that
will
be
reduced
down
to
accommodate
the
parking
that
we're
proposing.
A
Okay
and
then
give
us
a
quick
summary
bedrooms
square
and
the
rooftop.
M
Yep,
so
the
lower
units
which
are
on
the
would
be
located
in
the
second
level
are
studio,
roughly
studio
size
units
just
over
520
square
feet.
Each
the
upper
unit,
which
would
be
the
owner's
unit,
is
2340
square
feet
and
it
would
be
bi-level,
so
you
would
access
it
from
the
third
level
and
to
internal
stairwell
to
the
fourth
level
and
then
the
roof
deck.
M
I
believe
we
have
that
on
a
plan
eric
if
you
can
just
give
us
a
quick,
take
on
the
square
footage
for
that
roof.
Deck.
A
M
I
believe,
through
design
review
that
front
any
any
portion
of
that
railing
that
is
fronting
on
the
street.
They
would
have
to
be
pulled
back
to
a
seven
foot
step
back.
A
And
are
you
required
to
provide
an
accessible
unit.
M
I
can
let
mr
zackerson
address
it.
Yeah.
AC
A
Okay,
what
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
Plants
are
good,
I
think
you
know
from
the
from
a
heightened
and
scale
it
seems
to
fit
in.
It
is
a
obviously
it's
a
corner
condition
with
it's
tough
to
sort,
I
think
deal
with
in
terms
of
the
parking
access,
but
no
real
questions
other
than
those
two
items.
I
think.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the
board.
BH
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
natalia
benitez,
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
the
light
to
the
judgment
at
this
time.
However,
concerning
from
a
better
specific
about
design
and
parking-
and
it
was
a
tight
vote
at
this
exhibition,
thank
you.
F
AO
F
A
Okay,
given
that
information
may
have
a
motion,
please.
D
I
will
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpa
design
review,
I
think,
seeing
if
there's
any
way
to
ease
the
corner,
and
I
think
also
ensuring
that
the
roof
deck
is
set
back
in
as
required.
No
other
supervisor.
B
L
B
L
E
A
A
Okay,
can
somebody
put
their
name
and
address
on
the
record
for
437
frankfurt
street.
M
Yes,
madam
chair,
it's
richard
lynn's,
245,
sumner,
street
east
boston,
okay,.
A
Yes,
so
before
you
go
on,
there's
going
to
be
a
five-member
board
and
for
approval,
you
need
all
all
five
numbers
and
support,
so
is
it
your
discretion
whether
to
go
ahead
or
take
an
administrative
deferral.
M
M
Thank
you
again
for
the
record.
It's
richard
lin's
245
summer
street,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
madam
chair,
the
board
may
recall
this
matter
had
been
before
the
board
previously
as
a
larger
project
that
did
require
relief
under
article
53
of
the
boston
zoning
code.
The
board
had
denied
that
proposal.
Although
the
proposed
use
that
we're
proposing
on
the
site
was
permitted
in
the
quarter
enhancement
sub
district,
we
had
originally
proposed
a
four
unit.
M
Building
with
a
total
of
five
parking
spaces,
we
did
require
relief
for
the
far
as
well
as
the
parking
based
upon
what
we
had
proposed
after
the
board
had
denied
that
we
had
gone
back
and
reviewed
this
project
further
to
determine
if
there
was
a
way
to
bring
this
more
into
compliance.
M
Eric
zacharist,
who
was
our
project
architect,
has
designed
this
building
to
be
completely
by
right,
with
respect
to
the
setbacks,
use
parking,
etc.
When
we
originally
proposed
this
project,
our
setback
was
a
total
of
just
over
10
feet.
Our
setback
now
to
the
building
is
actually
31
feet
in
the
rear.
We
do
show
a
rear
deck
and
we
start
our
compliant
with
our
l53
of
the
cove.
The
only
requirement
that
is
outstanding
because
these
boss
is
under
an
ipod,
is
the
ipod
permit.
M
M
The
project
would
involve
a
total
of
three
units
and
again
that
is
a
conforming
use.
Each
unit
average
unit
size
about
800
square
feet.
All
of
them
are
true
bedroom.
The
building
lot
itself
is
three
thousand
square
feet.
We're
proposing
a
building
that
would
be
a
total
of
three
thousand
square
feet
gross
floor
area,
which
is
consistent
with
1.0
at
maximum
far
the
height
of
our
building
is
34
feet,
which
is
one
foot
less
than
the
maximum
height
allowed.
In
the
district
we
do
propose
a
roof
deck.
M
There
is
no
head
house
that
accesses
that
roof
deck
as
well
with
respect
to
the
front
edge
of
the
property.
We
do
have
40
feet
of
frontage
along
frankfurt
street.
That
is
a
a
lot
condition
that
is
not
typical
for
that
area.
That
does
allow
us
to
access
the
building
at
the
lower
level
for
parking
under
the
building.
You
can
see
here
in
the
profile
view
that
the
building
again
does
not
go
all
the
way
back
to
the
real
property
line.
A
Please
please
tell
miss
edwards
what
drawing
she
should
look
at.
We
should
look
at
oh.
BA
M
If
we
could
scan
back,
I
believe
to
the
cycling-
that's
probably
the
best
one
to
start
with.
M
The
lower
parking
level
manager
where
parking
is
accessed
from
the
left
side,
we
do
show
unit
one
which
is
an
accessible
unit
at
the
lower
level,
and
then
we
have
the
three
parking
spaces
located
to
the
rear.
One
of
those
spaces
is
compact.
Two
are
full
size
which
is
consistent
with
article
53
as
we
move
up
the
building,
we'll
jump
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
A
A
Excellent,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
are
in
our
position
of
this
process
of
this
project.
Now.
Remember
everybody
who's
calling
in
this
is
a
project,
that's
as
of
right,
and
it
just
needs
a
check
off
for
ipod
applicability.
A
It
meets
height,
parking
and
far
requirements.
Okay,
so,
given
that
information
to
everybody
who's
on
this
hall,
please
mature.
Please
raise
your
hands
in
the
event,
you
would
like
to
speak.
BH
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
natalia
needs
us
with
the
mayor's
office
and
public
services.
Our
office
would
like
to
refer
to
the
board
judgment
at
this
time.
However,
this
project
has
had
an
extensive
community
process.
The
abutters
concerns
have
been
about
high
density,
especially
the
character,
not
matching
the
rest
of
the
street
civic
also
voted
in
a
position,
and
our
office
has
received
more
than
a
dozen
letters
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
V
B
F
Okay
and
mench,
I
do
have
a
few
raised
hands
I'll
start
with
joni
you've
been
in
newton.
Can
you
state
your
name
in
addis
for
the
record?
Please
hi.
BE
Yes,
my
name
is
joni
dimarzo
and
I
live
at
435
frankfurt
street
as
a
director
butter.
We
are
in
my
family
and
I
are
on
opposition
of
this
project
due
to
the
size
and
impact
it
will
have.
We
live
on
a
dead
end
street.
The
surrounding
area
has
six
directly
above
a
budding
single-family
homes,
and
we
understand
that
the
ipod
is
to
help
protect
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
so
we're
hoping
that
will
be
considered
and
the
dead-end
street
is
extremely
populated
already
so
we're
concerned
with
density
as
well.
F
BA
BA
BI
Sure
this
is
leonard
olson
at
97
lexington
department.
Two.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes
great,
so
I'm
speaking
as
both
a
neighbor
and
a
coordinator
with
mutual
aid
easty,
which
is
a
neighbor
to
neighbor
support
network
here
in
east
boston,
in
opposition
to
the
project,
including
we've
been
in
touch
with
several
of
butters
to
this
project.
Who've
been
consistently
opposed
to
it
and
I'm
standing
alongside
them
in
that
opposition.
BI
It's
mainly
around
the
size
and
scale
of
this
proposed
project
and
overall,
I
feel
like
it
doesn't
protect
the
neighborhood
character,
as
is
meant
under
article
53,
at
least
boston
zoning
code,
but
rather
works
to
dismantle
it
and
at
that
there's
no
hardship
around
this
proposal.
That
would
invoke
granting
an
exception
to
the
east,
boston,
ipod.
F
BJ
Hi,
my
name
is
melanie
virtual
book
and
I'm
in
a
butter
at
447,
frankfurt
street
and
my
wife,
and
I
have
been
opposed
as
well
as
the
overwhelming
majority
of
the
community.
There
were.
There
was
no
communication
of
the
plans
prior
to
the
hearing
in
december
or
prior
to
the
hearing.
Today,
one
of
our
neighbors
actually
had
to
call
to
get
the
plans.
BJ
I'm
opposed
for
several
reasons
that
have
already
been
stated,
but
also
because
one
of
the
concerns,
since
the
start
has
been
the
how
close
it
is
going
to
be
up
to
the
budding
property
to
the
line
of
the
demarzo
family,
as
well
as
the
concern
about
the
very
large
trees
being
removed
and
changing
the
property
and
character
of
our
neighborhood,
as
well
as
the
developer,
purchasing
the
property
nearby
for
1.1
million
dollars,
which
is
well
over
market
value,
and
our
taxes
have
already
been
increased.
As
a
result.
AW
A
Hey
just
a
quick
response:
counselor.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
with
all
due
respect
to
the
elected
officials
and
others
who
spoke
in
opposition,
I
just
want
to
reiterate:
there
is
no.
M
AS
M
A
And
mr
fortune,
do
we
have
that
letter
in
the
file
from
the
bpda.
A
Counselor
counselor
lens,
can
you
make
sure,
just
as
we
do
with
g-cod,
that
administrative
letters
are
in
the
that
that
mr
frederick
received
that
please?
Yes,.
BD
D
A
M
Madam
chair,
if
I
may,
I
believe
the
board
has
to
make
findings
of
fact
to
go
against
what
the
bpd's
recommendation
is
on
an
ipod
permit.
I
would
request
those
findings.
A
Yep
sherry
this
this
is
this
is
a
little
different
from
the
cases
we
usually
see
and
it's
it's
very
much
like
a
g-cod
in
certain
ways,
and
so
we
rely
on
external
advice
just
like
we
rely
on
christian
for
gcod
and
the
vpda
has
recommended
approval.
So
that
is
the
reason
why
we
are
all
in
support
just
as
an
explanation:
okay,
okay,
so
so,
let's
see
there
was
a
motion.
There
was
a
second
all,
those
in
favor.
B
Following
your
next
case,
calling
doa

two:

spaces.

B
B
M
Chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
truquillo
development
adam
chair.
I
believe
we
deferred
this
previously
as
a
result
of
a
board
makeup
and
administrative
deferral.
Since
the
last
the
last
time
before
the
board,
we
previously
deferred
that
to
go
back
and
make
some
adjustments
to
the
project.
M
It's
probably
a
good
place
to
stop
madame
ambassador,
if
we
maybe
go
back
one
slide
this
at
least.
Let
me
begin
the
discussion.
We
need
to
share
that
site
plan
in
context,
perfect,
okay,
so
venom
chair
this
is
located
in
the
orient
heights
section
of
east
boston.
It
is
an
oversized
lot
at
almost
8
000
square
feet
located
on
shawsheen
road,
which
is
a
private
way.
M
Site
plan:
we
are
dedicating
half
this
lot
to
open
space.
We
will
preserve
and
maintain
that
as
part
of
the
condominium
association
and
we've
offered
that
to
be
available
to
as
additional
backyard
space
for
our
budding
neighbors
on
both
barn,
zap
and
saratoga
street.
We
are
proposing
a
five-unit
building
with
a
total
of
six
parking
spaces.
We've
reduced
the
height
of
our
building
down
from
four
stories
to
three,
and
that
was
a
direct
response
to
comments
that
we
heard
from
the
neighborhood.
M
Q
M
AS
M
Lower
than
the
the
existing
elevation
of
the
current
building,
our
building
will
actually
not
be
higher
than
what
exists
presently
in
saratoga
street.
We
would
access
our
site
through
through
a
garage
that
would
enter
into
the
rear
for
the
six
parking
spaces
that
we're
proposing
the
five
units
average
in
size
were
actually
four
of
those
students
would
be
two
bedroom,
one
would
be
one
bedroom,
the
one
bedroom
is
750
square
feet
and
the
larger
units
are
870
to
890
square
feet.
M
Each
we
do
require
relief,
but,
as
I
mentioned,
this
lot
is
unusual
in
the
sense
that
it
is
much
larger
than
most
of
the
lots
around
it
rather
than
building
out
a
good
portion
of
this
lot
with,
you
know,
permissible
setbacks.
M
As
I
said,
we've
dedicated
a
good
portion
of
this
lock
to
usable,
open
space
to
allow
for
buffer
between
those
rear
properties
that
that
were
shown
on
the
earlier
map.
M
Is
it's
actually
just
about
transitional?
It's
2f
4000
located
directly
next
to
the
eda,
so
the
directly
across
the
street
from
it
is
an
economic
development
area.
A
Okay
and
tell
us
about
the
so
the
height
is
four
stories.
What
is
it
in
feet?.
A
What's
that,
what's
what
is
it
in
feet?
32.
M
A
32,
okay
and
then
tell
us
for
some
reason,
parking
insufficiency
is,
is
red
flag
here,
tell
us
what's
going
on
sure.
M
We
are
proposing
a
total
of
six
spaces
under
article
53.
However,
the
the
number
of
spaces
calculation
would
come
out
to
eight
for
the
number
of
units
that
we're
proposing.
I
would.
Q
AS
M
That
this
lot
is
less
than
a
block
away
from
the
entrance
to
the
mbta
orient
heights.
T
station
parking
lot,
so
it
is
in
close
proximity
to
public
transit.
I
understand
from
the
btd
that
the
there
are
recommendations
for
maximum
parking.
This
is
intended
as
condo.
So
therefore
we
are
proposing
more
than
one
to
one
per
unit.
There's
one
additional
space
that
would
be
available,
whether
it
was
for
additional
visitor
parking
or
parking
for
another
unit
owner,
but
we
do.
We
are
providing
adequate
parking
for
the
site.
A
And
let
me
just
see
your
accessible
unit
is
that
ground
is
unit.
One
then.
M
That
is
correct,
designed
it
to
ensure
that
you
have
accessibility.
A
Mrs
anderson,
can
you
answer
that.
M
Yeah,
I
think
I
think,
madam
chair,
we
agreed
the
last
round
with
the
butters
that
we
would
remove
the
roof
deck
in
order
to
address
further
height
concerns.
We
only
show
very
next
on
the
back
and
again
preserve
all
that
open
space
to
the
rear.
AN
AN
Okay,
number
one:
I
think
that
the
applicant
would
have
to
get
the
approval
of
the
butter,
which
I
believe
is
davon
corey
laurel
office
assistant,
the
private
way
they
do
have
access
and
egress
allowed
to
them.
So
I
think
that
the
proposed
the
the
proposal
should
include
the
approval
of
the
abutter
across
the
state
and
the
other
side
of
shawsheen
road.
AN
And
secondly,
although
it's
not
a
btd
responsibility,
the
parking
will
be
right
on
the
borderline
of
four
houses
on
saratoga
street
and
bonds
avenue,
and
when
I
speak
with
mira
every
once
in
a
while.
This
is
going
to
require
screening
and
buffering.
Now
I
know
this
green
space
behind
it,
but
the
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
are
not
going
to
have
any
screening
and
buffering
on
the
sites
where
the
parking
is
included
and
the
reason
why
I
comment
on
that.
AN
This
may
narrow
the
amount
of
area
where
parking
will
be
required,
and
secondly,
thirdly,
I
should
say
the
the
plans
that
I'm
looking
at
show
proposed.
Driveway.
They
go
on
the
side
of
the
house,
all
the
way
down
to
saratoga
street,
yet
no
curb
cut
is
shown.
So
I
think
that
the
plans
are
a
little
bit
inaccurate
with
regards
to
what
the
the
project
is
being
proposed.
A
Yes,
bob,
I
think
you
might
be
looking
at
an
older
set
of
plans,
but
thank
you.
L
M
Through
through
the
chair,
mr
jiro
yeah,
if
you
can
go,
we
can
jump
back.
I'm
sorry
go
back
to
that
floor
plan
a
bit
the
ground
level
plan.
So
we
do.
We
do
have
a
driveway
lack
of
better
terms.
M
You
wouldn't
park
vehicles
in
here,
but
it'd
be
a
driveway
through
the
building
that
accesses
the
axes
out
to
the
rear
and
get
to
the
parking
spaces
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
With
respect
to
mr
davico's
comments,
absolutely
weakness
participate,
screening
and
buffering
and
with
respect
to
the
private
way
from
a
title
standpoint,
we
have
equal
rights
in
the
private
way,
as
the
abutters
do
across
the
way.
However,
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
them
directly
and
they
have
no
objections.
L
So
so,
just
just
to
get
this,
I
have
some
clarity.
I
mean
we
could
handle
this
in
design
review
anyways,
but
so
there'd
be
a
garage
door
on
the
front.
So
you
in
theory
like
if
you
just
saw
the
front
of
the
building
you
could
you
wouldn't
even
know
that
the
cars
are
coming
out?
On
the
other
side,
it
would
look
like
a
normal,
traditional
garage
on
the
front.
Correct,
that's
perfect!
A
A
BH
Yes,
thank
you
madame
chair
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
and
that's
how
everybody
says
services
our
office
would
like
to
refer
to
the
board's
judgment
at
this
time.
The
our
office
actually
supported
this
project
last
time
and.
AD
F
F
A
Can
you
put
your
name
and
address
on
the
record?
Please.
BK
BK
I
wanted
to
speak
in
opposition
of
this.
There
was
a
neighborhood
meeting
back
in
october
with
attorney
linz
and
he
at
that
time
on
email
promise
to
provide
updated
plans
which
he
has
to
this
date
not
done
at
that
meeting.
He
made
comments
to
me
regarding
the
fact
that
the
building
was
not
behind
my
property,
but
rather
the
fence
and
parking
were
so
that
it
really
didn't
impact
me,
which
is
not
accurate.
BK
It
impacts
my
property,
whether
it's
building
or
parking
the
other
unit
owners
in
my
building
are
concerned
because
of
the
narrowness
of
the
parking
area
and
the
damage
that
may
be
done
to
our
fence
when
they
have
difficulty
negotiating
turning
around
and
getting
in
and
out,
especially
during
snowstorms,
which
we
recently
experienced.
BK
This
talk
of
the
hoa
enforcing
the
green
space
and
within
their
regulations,
but
who
is
to
say
that
those
won't
get
changed
once
the
hoa
is
in
enforced
and
no
longer
keep
that
green
space
and
who's
going
to
require
the
such
a
way
to
look
towards
the
green
space
and
keep
track
of?
What's
going
on
that?
There's
not
you
know.
People
cutting
through
from
saratoga
street
through
the
green
space
into
banzav
and
making
it
a
cut-through
or
a
shortcut
to
the
the

thing
that
properties
won't.
BK
A
De
fumari,
I
own
11
20
at
cervitoca
street.
BA
BA
Be
a
must
better
place.
Thank
you.
F
BE
BF
Yeah,
yes,
thank
you.
Can
everybody
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
hey!
My
name
is
peter
carr
attorney
in
boston.
At
I
wanted
to
international
place
in
boston,
I
represent
the
cardinal
family,
who
are
director
butters
at
127,
barnes
avenue,
there's
two
letters
I
submitted
on
file
in
opposition
when
this
was
previously
presented
and
not
to
restate
what's
in
those
letters,
but
this
this
project
is
is
true.
Horn
between
these
two
streets
and
directly
abuts,
my
client's
property
I'd,
have
a
substantial
impact
on
his
property
that
property.
That's
there.
BF
It's
literally
in
the
middle
of
this,
these
groups
of
houses
that
have
been
there
for
many
many
years.
It's
it
violates,
in
particular
the
fact
that
this
is
a
two-family
residential
neighborhood.
To
now
have
a
three-family
condominium
project
shoehorned
in
the
middle.
Miss
cardone
is
also
on
the
line
and
is
raised
to
opposition.
BF
It's
just
not
an
appropriate
project
and
asked
that
the
board
and
look
at
this
and
fall
at
this
point.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you,
ambassador.
Can
you
view.
M
You
thank
you,
mr
chair,
so,
with
respect
to
mr
tringali's
comments,
we
did
file
the
updated
plans
through
the
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I
know
there's
been
some
transition
there,
so
I
do
apologize
if
she
didn't
receive
that
with
respect
to
her
comments.
So
we
we
do
not.
Our
building
is
not
behind
her
building,
it's
the
open
space
and
we
did
agree
that
we
would
provide
whatever
fencing
the
neighbors
requested
with
respect
to
the
parking
area
for
appropriate
screening
and
buffering.
M
A
Counselor,
so
I
think
you
address
the
parking
you
address
the
screening
and
buffering
you
address
the
the
right
of
way.
Okay,
okay,
I
think
you've
addressed
every
question
that
was
raised
that
needed
a
response.
Given
that,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
L
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
vpda
design,
review
for
screening
and
buffering
in
the
rear,
particularly
where
the
parking
spaces
are,
and,
and
also
some
some
street
landscape
there.
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
to
really
sprucing
up
a
street
that
doesn't
even
look
like
a
street
right
now,
so
I
want
to
put
that
in
there.
A
B
AK
AK
Sure
there
are
three
commercial
units
in
the
ground
floor
and
four
residential
units
spread
over
two
floors,
so
the
design
we're
proposing
is
roof
deck
on
the
left.
This
will
be
private,
for
my
client
is
accessed
through
spiral
stairs
off
of
an
existing
deck
in
the
rear,
very
similar
to
what
you
see
in
the
existing
roof
deck
just
on
the
bottom
of
the
axon
there
it's
about
680
square
feet.
AK
AK
A
Okay,
and
who
has
access
to
that
to
that
rooftop.
AK
D
Plans
are
good,
no
questions.
I
think
the
scope
is
drawn.
R
Yeah
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
caitlyn
stapleton,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
held
in
a
butters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
november
29th,
where
there
was
no
no
concern
shown
by
butters.
I
have
received
one
letter
of
support
and
one
letter
of
non-opposition,
so
at
this
time
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
V
AK
B
You
very
much
found
the
last
case
of
the
day
calling
voa

This
has
raised
the
existing
structure
and
erected
a
new
residential
building
with
15
units
and
15
parking
spaces.

Please.
B
A
I'm
sorry
so
top
counselor,
we
will
have
a
five
member
board
and
you
would
need
all
members
to
be
in
support
of
this.
You
have
two
options.
One
is
to
proceed,
or
the
second
is
to
request
an
administrative
deferral
for
a
date
when
we
have
a
fully
active
board.
A
BG
As
was
mentioned,
as
can
be
seen
in
this
picture,
the
proposal
is
to
raise
the
existing
structure
to
erect
a
three
and
a
half
story
condominium
building.
This
would
include
15
residential
condominium
units
with
15
parking
spaces
inside
the
building.
This
would
also
include
two
affordable
on-site
units.
BG
A
So
counselor
counselor,
can
you
tell
us
one
why
you
would
have
fled
before
and
can
you
talk
about
building
alignment?
What
is
the
and
tell
us
what
the
zoning
district
is
and
talk
about,
the
the
yard
insufficiency
and
the
height.
BG
Okay,
mountain
chair.
Yes,
so
the
district
is
a
3
f,
5
000,
although
there
are
different
mixes
of
properties
in
the
area
from
multi-family
residential
to
two
to
one
to
three.
BG
The
reason
why
we
were
deferred
one
we
met
with
meeting
house
hill,
which
is
the
civic
association
and
in
meeting
with
the
group
we
reduced
unit,
count
changed
the
design
of
the
building
as
well.
So
we
significantly
reduced
unit
count
over
a
period
of
a
year,
so
we
went
from
29
27
units
down
to
15
that
you
see
now,
but
we're
able
to
still
keep
the
affordable
inside
the
building
to
go
through
just
the
the
violations
that
you
had
mentioned.
BG
We
are
at
46
feet
at
three
and
a
half
stories,
although
we
built
the
building
or
designed
the
building
on
the
on
the
high
street
side
to
be
at
three
stories
and
then,
as
you
go
in
the
back,
the
peaks
rise
up,
but
there's
a
significant
grade
change
in
the
slope
of
the
topography
of
the
lot.
BG
BG
Yes,
so
just
to
go
over
our
our
rear
yard,
so
we've
got
51
feet,
6
inches
at
its
father's
point
and
that
sort
of
varies
as
you
go
back.
But
that's
our
father's
point
and
our
lowest
point.
It's
10
feet
away,
but
it's
mostly
near
the
51
feet,
six
inches
on
our
side
yard.
It
varies
as
well,
but
we
are
at
11
feet,
11
inches
and
then
our
lowest
point
three
feet.
Nine.
BG
And
so,
but
our
neighbor
to
the
right
is
set
to
the
11
feet.
11
feet,
11,
inches
and
then
to
our
left
will
be
closest
to
a
driveway.
On
the
left
hand,
side
at
around
close
to
three
feet:
nine
inches.
AN
BG
BG
Just
to
go
over
that
our
lower
level
has
a
ten
foot
driveway
and
a
five
foot
walking
path
for
pedestrian
access,
and
that
would
lead
into
a
door
that
goes
into
the
bike
room
and
into
the
garage.
There
are
15
parking
spaces
inside
dedicated
bike,
room,
trash
room
and
mechanical
room
on
the
lower
level.
The
first
through
the
third
floor,
all
hose
five
units
and
then,
as
we
went
over
the
top
floor,
has
the
roof.
Decks
and
two
units
have
an
extra
bedroom
space
up
there
as
well.
BG
Yes,
so
they're
larger
units,
so
it's
eight
two
bedroom
units
at
1150
square
feet
on
average
and
seven
three
bedroom
units
at
1475
square
feet
on
average
for
a
total
of
15,
two
of
those
will
be
affordable
and
we
worked
out.
One
of
them
will
have
a
50
ami
and
the
other
one,
a
60
ami.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
D
The
plans
are
good,
as
you
can
see
by
the
geometry:
it's
quite
a
difficult
site,
I'm
very
familiar
with
it.
It
does
drop
off
quite
a
bit
as
you
can
see
in
the
topography
and
the
site
plan.
So
it's
it's
it's
complicated,
but
I
don't
necessarily
have
any
questions
knowing
this
went
through
the
bpda
design
review
process,
article
80..
Thank
you.
Okay,.
C
I'm
just
wondering
about
the
the
roof.
You
got
common
roof
deck
and
two
private
roof
decks.
You
got
an
elevator.
What's
the
access
to
the
three
different
roof
decks.
BG
The
exclusive
have
separate
access,
the
common
have
the
elevator
and
a
staircase.
C
D
A
AZ
A
Okay,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
